ALL SPECIES KINSHIP: DIRECT-OUTREACH ANIMAL PROTECTION
A.S.K. HISTORY

All Species Kinship (A.S.K.) was founded in 2001 after
recognizing that there was a need for a direct-
outreach, hands-on animal protection organization in
Calhoun County. In 2003, A.S.K. formed a nonprofit
entity in the State of Michigan.

  • A.S.K. is a federally-recognized 501(c)(3)
    nonprofit organization operating direct-
    outreach services throughout Southern MI.

  • A.S.K is operated by a vegan Board of
    Directors. All staff, Directors and volunteers are
    unpaid and have committed their lives to
    community-outreach and animal protection.


  • 100% of all contributions directly benefit local
    animals in need! Donations are never spent on
    gas, office supplies or salaries! We do not pay
    ourselves to help animals!
A.S.K. ETHICS

A.S.K. believes that humans can humanely and
healthily coexist with other animal species without
causing unnecessary harm and without compromising
 natural behavior and freewill. As such, A.S.K.
activities and operations adhere to vegan ethics.
A.S.K. volunteers and supporters need NOT be
vegan, and may choose a lifestyle that fits their
needs!

A.S.K. does not promote or use animals for profit,
entertainment, consumption or clothing.
WHY VEGAN?

VEGANISM: a diet &
lifestyle that seeks to
exclude the use of
animals, or their

purpose
